MADRID. The numerous international events, of social and political character, anticipated for end of the spring have forced to advance to the date of the wedding of Their Height Real Prince de Asturias with Doña Letizia Ortiz, programmed initially for principles of the next summer.
It was the House of His Majesty the King the one that announced, shortly before the midnight of the last Friday, that the connection of the Heir of Corona will take place to 12 of the noon of the 22 of May in the Cathedral of the Almudena of Madrid.
Just as it happened with the official announcement of the commitment, that hurried to avoid the rumors, in this occasion the spreading of the date of the wedding by the chain of Intereconomía radio did that the Palace of the Zarzuela decided to advance the official official notice and to at night announce it few minutes before the twelve of Friday, one hour unusual for this type of official notices.
Don Felipe informed to its close friends
Apparently, own Don Felipe already had announced to his more close friends the exact day of its connection and, as of that moment, the date began to circulate quickly, when still it had not been made public officially.
Until then, the House of His Majesty the King studied three possible dates for the celebration of the wedding. First it was the 22 of May, the second, very next one, and third, already in June, closest to the summer. The confirmation of the exact date depended solely to make it with the numerous events anticipated for the months of May and June compatible. As it is logical, one was to try to obtain that it could attend the ceremony the greater possible number of representatives of the religious and civil institutions, as well as of international delegations of the highest level.
The circumstance that occurs indeed the weekend previous to the one of the wedding of Don Felipe will contract marriage Prince Heredero Federico of Denmark with the Australian Mary Donaldson. Also, the following weekend to the connection of Prince de Asturias will be celebrated the one of Prince Heredero of Jordan, Hamzah, with its fiance'e, Noor. Hamzah is son of King Hussein and Queen Noor.
Of this form, they will be three consecutive week ends in which the Royal Families of the diverse countries will have to move to attend the three weddings.
In addition to these three marriages, the international agenda specially is loaded in June. The European elections (foreseeably the 13) with its corresponding electoral campaign, the sport advice of relief of presidency of the UE or events as the Eurocopa of soccer made look for a date in May.
Strategic Balconies
Now, once made specific the day of the wedding, to the commission created in the Palace of the Zarzuela to organize the preparations, representatives of the City council and the Community of Madrid will add themselves. Until the ceremony, they have six months to prepare the Spanish capital, that the 22 of May will monopolize all the national and international attention. All the referring one to Prince de Asturias and his fiance'e is provoking a great interest between diverse Spanish and foreign mass media. As one remembers, more than thousand journalists they solicitd to credit itself to cover the request with hand, although finally only there was space for 350. The real estate agencies already have begun to receive requests of rents of floors for that date and from which the passage of the retinue can be observed. The same demand registered yesterday in inns and pensions of old Madrid, near Palace, and objective of the cameras and photographers for that day.
(sorry, I don't know Spanish that well so the grammar is not that great!)
Then June is a little more calm, and them came the hotness of July and August 
Or the guests and public will have a very hard time
